3 Claims.

This invention relates to a hair drier, and has for its object toprovide such a device as will force many small jets or streams of airthrough the hair adjacent the root ends thereof.

Another object of the invention is to provide an attachment for a hairdrying apparatus through means of which many independent jets of air maybe forced both up and down.

A further object of the invention is to provide a tubular head resthaving a series of perforations through which air may be blown throughhair adjacent the scalp as well as that hanging below the scalp.

Another object of the invention is to provide a tubular bracket forsupporting a perforated head rest for spraying air through the hair.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a perforatedtubular head rest, supported by a tubular bracket connected to an airblower and means whereby the same may be vertically adjusted.

With the above and such other objects in View as may hereinafter morefully appear, I have invented the device shown in the accompanyingdrawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of my invention;

Figure 2 is a front levational view thereof;

Figure 3 is a rear elevation;

Figure 4 is a bottom plan view;

Figure 5 is a longitudinal vertical section of the head rest nozzle; and

Figure 6 is a fragmentary vertical cross-section on the line 6-6 of Fig.2.

Lik reference characters indicate like parts throughout the followingspecification and in the several views in the drawing in which Iindicates my improved hair drier, which comprises an electric blower 2,into the outlet end 3 of which is threaded a reduced pipe 4, having itsother end 5 threaded into a combined adjustable pipe connection andclamp collar 6. Attached to the blower is an electric motor 2a. Thislatter member has an outlet I to which is connected, the sinuous brackettube 8, the substantially horizontal end 9 of which is connected to apreferably flattened tube I0, the upper and lower edges I I and I2 ofwhich are provided with a series of closely connected perforations I3and I4 respectively. The ends I5 and I6 of said last tube are closed.The collar 6 is adapted to be vertically adjusted upon a supporting postI I.

From the foregoing description it will be ob- ViOus that I have providedan inexpensive combined head rest and hair drier, (readily adjustable toindividual users) so formed that th air I claim to be new and will beforced into the hair at its roots as well as at its ends, and allintermediate portions thereof. If found desirable an inflexible capslightly held from contact with the head may be used in connection withthe air nozzle and attached thereto.

Particular attention is called to the fact that the concav d surface I8Of the member I0 is imperforate and that the streams of air are emittedfrom th upper and lower edges of the sprayer, not only directing the airsprays up around the scalp and down through the flowing hair, but inorder that the air vents may not be closed by the head or neck restingthereagainst.

By referring to Figures 1 and 2 it will be noted that my device is soconstructed that it may be used with the blower and motor in eitherupright or depending position according to th particular requirement.

Having now described my invention, that which desire to procure byLetters Patent is:

1. In a hair drier, an air blower, a blower pipe, a tubular bracket, ahollow clamp collar connected to and communicating with the blower pipeand bracket, and a transversely connected flattened arcuate tube on theend of said bracket remote from the said hollow clamp collar, the endsof the said flattened arcuate tube being sealed, and the narrow edgesthereof being perforated.

2. A hair drier including a supporting member, a hollow clamp-collaradjustably secured to said supporting member, hollow pipes connected toand communicating with said collar, a blower alfixed to one of saidpipes and communicating therewith at the end remote from saidclampcollar, the other of said pipes being sinuous, and

a curved and flattened tube affixed thereto at the end of said sinuouspipe remote from the said clamp-collar, the said curved and flattenedtube having its ends closed and its edge perforated, and the approximatecenter thereof communicating with said sinuous pipe.

3. In a hair drier, a hollow clamp collar adapted to be adjustablysecured to an approximately vertical support, an air blower, a tubeaffiXed to and communicating with said air blower and the saidclamp-collar, a second tube affixed to and communicating with saidclamp-collar, and a curved and flattened tube affixed, at theapproximate center thereof, to and communicating with the saidsecond-mentioned tube, the said flattened tube having a plurality ofperforations along the edges thereof.
